The image depicts a pencil drawing of a man's profile portrait from the chest up. He is facing to the right in a seated position with his side profile visible. The man has distinct facial features with a prominent nose and curly hair that falls to the nape of his neck, tied with a ribbon. He wears a high-collared shirt and a dark jacket. Below the circular frame of the portrait, the name "John Seaton Caron." is inscribed in cursive. The background is plain and unadorned.
